I can't seem to sew the disparate pieces of documentation together to get the best answer here, so can someone answer these questions and perhaps add the answer to a FAQ? I have a dynamic IP, PPP link to the internet and a home net which uses IP Masquerading to access the internet. Everything works except for losing the odd packet when I start up the connection. I want to find the best solution to not losing any packets when starting up a connection. I have RedHat 5.2 (2.0.36 kernel) and diald-0.99.1 1) Will setting up ipfwadm masquerading rules at boot time and using "echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_dynaddr" work and not lose packets? 2) If not - then is the correct way to do this to use addroute and leave /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_dynaddr at 0? And also to only put the ipfwadm commands in the addroute script and corresponding ipfwadms in delroute? 3) Are addroute and defaultroute mutually exclusive? 4) If addroute has to be used, has anyone got a sample addroute and delroute script for dynamic IP and masquerading? 5) [Unrelated] Anyone got a nice diald startup/shutdown/restart script that would fit into the /etc/rc.d/init.d directory of a RedHat distribution?
